Cranfield has a rich history and heritage in defence and security, with world-class, state-of-the-art facilities, including at the Ministry of Defence site at Shrivenham. A £7 million investment in the latest forensic science technology at our Cranfield campus has created a centre of excellence that is unmatched in the UK, including crime scene investigation rooms, a crime scene house, and a simulated mass grave excavation site. From laboratories investigating radar systems, to Cranfield Ordnance Test and Evaluation Centre (COTEC) testing materials and weapons, our facilities are unparalleled.
